• Brendon McCullum: The Kiwi set the inaugural IPL on fire and is capable of turning it on again. Coming off a Test double century, he could be doubly dangerous

• M Vijay: CSK have not retained him, but will probably want to have him again at the top. He looks classy even when indulging in brutal hitting
